Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science, Professor of Technology Policy, Harvard Kennedy School, Distinguished Engineer, speak about diversity initiatives in Computer Science.
Description: Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back, and de-biasing people’s minds has proven to be difficult and expensive.

By de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts. Presenting research-based solutions, Iris Bohnet hands us the tools we need to move the needle in classrooms
